"THEO" cool pitbull

ADOPTED!

Feb 2017

Mcas Newsletter: "Theo
went home again! He was originally adopted to assist a hearingimpaired client,
but once they got home, they thought Theo might be deaf. He was returned and it
was confirmed…Theo was indeed deaf. A couple days later our shelter manager,
Shaunna received a phone call from theoriginal adopter. They loved and missed
him, so they wanted to come back and get him.

It was
a heartwarming reunion!"

Available for Adoption with Multnomah County Animal Services!animal # 536785 (adoption pending 2/2)Mcas weblinkHi there! My name is Theo and I'm looking for a new, loving family! I've had a pretty tough life so far, and am looking for someone to give me another chance. I am a very friendly guy that adores people and enjoys going for daily walks and runs. I also enjoy playing with toys and cuddling on the couch. I can get overexcited easily and will need work on impulse control with my mouth. I was never taught good bite inhibition and sometimes I can get carried away in all the excitement of getting attention. The shelter is highly recommending that we take reward based classes together to get us started on the right paw. Kids in the home need to be over the age of 12 years due to this. I can calm myself pretty nicely and really enjoy getting in a good cuddle session. I have developed a skin condition from fleas and it will be important that I stay on quality, monthly flea control for the rest of my life. One last challenge is that I am also deaf. If you you are looking for a great second chance dog, please come and meet me today! I must also ask that my new home is feline and canine free, as I need all of the attention to myself. I am about 5 years old and weigh a thin 55 pounds.
